Hoylake Road, going through Bidston Village 1925.

This was before the Ford Estate and the M53

Better eyes than me - but yes you can just see the end of Eleanor Road and the 'v' formed by Vyner road and Ford Hill.
It was called Bidston Court then, of course - only receiving the name Hillbark when it moved replacing an older Hillbark on the site.
